STATEMENT OF INTENT

I will be using Dr Witt for my TV advert production of a healthy drink  as it is a mixture of different types of fruits and vitamins which promotes a healthy lifestyle and improves well-being. My slogan will be "Stay healthy so you won't need a Dr". My adverts are aimed at teenagers and young adults, who are aged between 15 and 30. My adverts will be broadcast on mainstream commercial TV channels and streaming services. I plan to meet the brief by advertising using a teen who has the same interests as the others for Blumler & Katz Uses and Gratifications. For advert one , I chose a narrative of the teen drinking Dr Witt after dancing because it lets the audience know that they should maintain their health after doing something to ensure that they are taking in a balance and healthy diet. As for my second advert narrative, I chose a character eating junk food, this is to convey to the audience how bad it can get if teenagers always eat junk food, but to equalise ...
